As promised HBOWatch wants to give you even more VICE and since there is no new episode of the series due to the Memorial Day weekend we offer another round of additional footage not seen on air.  Here is a look at clips as they relate to Episodes Five through Episode Seven. The first set of extended footage comes from Episode Five “Winners and Losers.” Ryan Duffy gave us the story of some Mormon Lost Boys. This is a look at one such excommunicated man not shown in the segment. Here is Lorin’s Story. Admit it, regardless of what you think of his religious persuasion,...

UPDATE 05/24/2013 – Just in time for Memorial Day, the Band of Brothers poster auction for charity has gone live with the web site at posterproject.us, and a new video detailing the effort for veterans. 100% of funds from The Poster Project will go to benefit GallantFew, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping veterans help themselves and each other. Narrated by Michael Broderick, the video sums up the mission of The Poster Project, with video clips from Band of Brothers, and appearances from GallantFew leaders Karl Monger and Michael Schlitz. 05/15/2013 – This Band of...

There is plenty happening on HBO and we at HBOWatch try to cover it all. So, with that in mind, there is one such offering that warrants some attention this weekend. It is HBO Films: BEHIND THE CANDELEBARA, which premieres in place of GAME OF THRONES, VEEP & FAMILY TREE Sunday night (05.26) at 9:00pm. To get you in the mood for this glitzy bio-drama about entertainer Liberace and his tumultuous relationship with Scott Thorson here are some TnT’s (Teases/Trailers) that  contain good background information. We start with “An Invitation To The Set.” There is really no surprise here....

Wait wait wait! You mean, I don’t get to find out what happens to Tyrion and the gang until 2 weeks from now?!  But Dany! And Robb! And Sansa! And Arya and the Hound! And and and!… With so much about to happen and only two - 2! - episodes left, I just don’t know what I’m going to do with myself.  I guess I could start weeding my garden… break out the lawnmower… clean the swimming pool… actually participate in the world… So what a cliffhanger. Poor Gendry, at the mercy of Melisandre and Stannis. And just what can or will Davos do? Those...

Overview: Known for billboard-sized photographic portraits of everyday people in urban settings, French street artist JR has a simple call to action: “Tell me what you stand for, and together we’ll turn the world inside out.” To transform his idea into reality, he created the Inside Out Project, the world’s largest participatory art project and a remarkable testament to the power of the image and the role art can play in transforming lives. JR, who himself remains anonymous, (his full name is unknown and he always wears sunglasses and a fedora in public and on camera) asks people to...

“There are no men like me. Only me.”  After a rather emotional confession in the bath, it seems like views of Jaime Lannister and his status as an arrogant, self-centered tool are showing signs of change. Begrudging respect is starting to form based on the righteous act he performed in his past that branded him with the title of “Kingslayer.” It’s a funneled perspective that makes us forget just who he is and what he’s done. He’s still a self-centered, arrogant tool but he’s starting to endure the consequences of the bad karma he spreads....

Playtone Productions is back at it with yet another historical drama for HBO. No, it is not a sweeping WWII mini-series; though remember one is in the preliminary works. This time it is a biographical look at Mikhail Gorbachev, as in the former Soviet Union president. As history tells us it was during his term as President, the USSR’s only one at that, that the Union crumbled in 1991. Gorbachev was a big figure in history and this movie, showing the dissolution of his country, he will be a big figure as well. Mr. G. will serve as a consultant to the project along will a few aides who...

Last week, HBO and Christopher Guest debuted Guest’s new television show/mockumentary about a man, Tom Chadwick, searching for the history of his family. Along with Tom, we met his sister Bea (and her puppet, Monkey, who lives on her right hand and helps her express herself), their father Keith, and Tom’s best friend Pete Stupples. Other fun people included Mr. Glenn Pfister, owner of Mr. Pfister’s Bits and Bobs; Neville St. Aubrey, a specialist in 19th- and 20th-century photographs; and Ellie, a woman who, while on a date with Tom, we find out believes you can go back to...

Stannis leads the way as things heat up in this week’s episode of ‘Game of Thrones.’ These past few episodes have left us wanting. It’s been hard to keep up with so many rapidly changing, and sometimes rather boring, story lines and characters. ‘Second Sons’ is tight and contained, no longer jumping all over Westeros. For me, it has been a relief. Our attention remains fixed on Dragonstone, Kings Landing, and the eastern city of Yunkai, giving us a more intimate understanding of motives, characters and story. We haven’t quite reached the climax of...

HBO leaked a small little Newsroom trailer this weekend.  While shorter than the invitation to the set trailer released this month this video shows some of the actors and show-runners behind the scenes.  Here it is: Welp. Not much there, right? We hope to get some REAL trailers in soon as Game of Thrones winds down. Look for one possibly alongside Behind the Candelabra this Sunday night at 9 in place of...

Hey, Kenny Powers fans! Isn’t it about time to get this ole ballgame under way? That’s right, EASTBOUND AND DOWN is gearing up and it is about time. HBOWatch reported  way back on 07.02.12 that Season Four was a certainty. But, production isn’t getting underway until right after the upcoming Memorial Day weekend. What the hell was taking so long? We hope the time was well spent on writing whip- smart and funny scripts for the fourth and final(?) season. News has been dropped that filming will once again take place in the Wilmington, NC and Myrtle Beach, SC regions now through August....

Do you wish you knew what all of your favorite Game of Thrones personalities were thinking and doing, every minute of every day? You can actually follow all the (fake) accounts of your beloved, and not so beloved, characters from both the HBO series Game of Thrones, and the book series upon which it was based, A Song of Ice and Fire. Accounts range from serious role players with complex story lines, to parody accounts, some of which are extremely entertaining. For those who prefer to tweet in languages other than English, there is also a huge group of Spanish role players, and we’re...

“Only Kings understand each other…” HBO released the first ever Boardwalk Empire season 4 trailer this evening before this week’s episode of Game of Thrones.  The teaser actually shows a bit more than HBO usually gives on a first time teaser such as this one so give it a watch.  Though it is short coming in at under 30 seconds there are some chilling shots that major fans will surely enjoy. Take a look: This confirms the FALL release date that we’ve predicted all along on our schedule page.  We’ll keep you up to date as far as an exact premiere slot....
